Where have all the hookers gone? - Jerome, Arizona

THIS ENTRY IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

When in Jerome, visit the Haunted Hamburger and be sure to get your ten inch fill of chocolately goodness.

TEN INCHES of chocolately goodness and I ate my slice all on my own, icing and all.
Don't ever let someone tell you you can't do something, because then you'll have to prove the bastards wrong--Cool Hand Luke style.

The Jerome Grand Hotel

Once a mental asylum, it is now a swanky hotel with a retauraunt called the Asylum.

Up a hill from the hotal is a collapsed building.

























Downtown Jerome from the park. To the left is the alley where hookers roamed.

Kristin and I enjoy the swings
on a warm day.

If Ghost Rider were real...
this might be his bike.

Many bikers enjoy Jerome.

Four teenagers
left for a concert...
None returned.

The donkey rings a bell, demanding to be fed. Scott looks at the creature increduously, as if telling it to go screw itself.

Beware what creatures
lurk in the dark shadows
of old mines...
